"We're looking for students in towns and cities across Canada who have
an interest in science, and the ability to have some fun with chemistry
and to convey that on-camera," says David Dolphin, chair of Canada's
IYC organizing committee.

Middle and high school students are eligible to win $500, $1,000 or
$2,500 in scholarship funding for submitting creative, one to
three-minute videos that demonstrate the benefits of chemistry,
showcase the contributions of a recognized chemist, or bust a commonly
held myth. The contest runs until April 22, 2011 and a full list of
rules and judging criteria can be found on www.iyc2011.ca.
